This application is a Divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/456,880, filed 26 Apr. 2012, which is a Divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/809,951, filed 13 Sep. 2010, which is a National Stage entry of International Application No. PCT/EP2008/010418, filed 9 Dec. 2008, which claims priority to European Patent Application No. 07150343.7, filed 21 Dec. 2007. The disclosures of the priority applications are incorporated in their entirety herein by reference.

The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one aminobenzamide derivatives or a salt thereof for controlling animal parasites, veterinary pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one aminobenzamide derivatives or a salt thereof for preventing infection with diseases transmitted through parasites, its use for the preparation of a veterinary pharmaceutical for controlling animal parasites, and a method for preventing infection with diseases transmitted through parasites.

The infestation of animals, domestic animals, companion animals and agricultural livestock alike, with parasites represents a problem. Often, the infested animals are infected with diseases transmitted through parasites, like e.g. lyme disease, a variety of sometimes fatal viral diseases or the immune system of the animals becomes weak due to the infestation, so that the animals become prone to other diseases, like e.g. bacterial infections. With the result that costly medicaments have to be administered, and, if the treated animals are agricultural livestock then the food safety is jeopardized. Additionally, the infestation of agricultural livestock with parasites is very often accompanied with a decrease in performance in terms of quality and quantity of produced meat, milk, egg, wool, or fur.

In particular, blood-sucking ectoparasites and ectoparasites causing myiasis are potential transmitters of a broad variety of pathogens besides all other secondary effects of the ectoparasitic infestation as there are blood-loss, irritation, inflammation, secondary bacterial infection, secondary parasiticidal infection (e.g. myiasis) and direct toxicosis (tick paralysis).

Although there are several compounds known to combat animal parasites there is still a need for new compounds. Especially in the field of live-stock the treated ectoparasites are often present in high numbers. Together with repeated treatments necessary to minimize damage to the host animals there is a steadily increasing risk that the ectoparasites are developing a resistance against the existing veterinary pharmaceuticals. There is also a need for veterinary pharmaceuticals which prevent the infestation of animals with parasites. And, moreover, for compounds which can prevent blood meal or lesions caused by ectoparasites and thus additionally can reduce the risk of transmitting vector-borne diseases to animals and humans.

From WO 2005/021488 A, WO 2005/073165 A, WO 2006/137376 A, WO 2006/137395 A, JP 2006/306771, WO 2007/017075 A, WO2007/013150 A and WO 2007/013332 A it is known that certain aminobenzamide derivatives can be used as insecticides in the agricultural and horticultural field.

The inventors now have found that certain aminobenzamide derivatives or compositions comprising at least one optically active aminobenzamide derivative exhibit excellent activity against animal parasites and thus can be used as veterinary pharmaceutical, especially for preventing infection with diseases which are transmitted through animal parasites.

Boophilus microplus—Test (Injection)

Solvent: Dimethyl Sulfoxide

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 10 mg of active compound are dissolved in 0.5 ml solvent, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Five adult engorged female ticks (Boophilus microplus) are injected with compound solution into the abdomen. Ticks are transferred into replica plates and incubated in a climate chamber for a period of time. Egg deposition of fertile eggs is monitored.

After the specified period of time, mortality in % is determined. 100% means that all eggs are infertile; 0% means that all eggs are fertile.

In this test for example, the following compounds from the preparation examples showed good activity oft 80% at application rate of 20 μg/animal:

Ctenocephalides felis—Test (CTECFE)

Solvent: Dimethyl Sulfoxide

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 10 mg of active compound are dissolved in 0.5 ml solvent, and the concentrate is diluted with cattle blood to the desired concentration.

Approximately 10 to 15 adult unfed (Ctenocepahlides felis) are placed in flea chambers. The blood chamber, sealed with parafilm on the bottom are filled with cattle blood supplied with compound solution and placed on top of the flea chamber, so that the fleas are able to suck the blood. The blood chamber is heated to 37° C. whereas the flea chamber is kept at room temperature.

After the specified period of time, mortality in % is determined. 100% means that all the fleas have been killed; 0% means that none of the fleas have been killed.
